Ikea Range is producing a burning smell

If your Ikea range is producing a burning smell, unplug the range or switch off its circuit breaker before inspecting it, especially if the odor smells electrical. The most likely causes are a defective temperature control thermostat, a failed control board, main control board, or oven control board, followed by a shorted bake element or broil element. A thermostat problem can affect broiler temperature, while a failed control board may stop sending voltage to the bake and broil circuits. Inspect the bake element for holes, blisters, or other visible damage, and check it with a multimeter for continuity. Test the broil element as well. Continuity between its terminals and the outer metal case indicates the element is shorted and needs replacement. These failures can cause a burning smell from the oven, a range burning smell, or an electrical burning smell from the stove. Always use the correct replacement part for your specific Ikea range, since control boards and heating components vary by model. Enter your model number to find the exact thermostat, control board, main control board, oven control board, bake element, or broil element for your range.
